Modular Multiplexer Technology

SAN JOSE, Calif, June 8, 2006 -- Bookham Inc., a provider of optical components, modules and subsystems,
has introduced the ZoroLight LED multiplexer module, designed to
support rear-projection television and pocket projectors that use
LED illumination instead of conventional UHP lamps.

Bookham
said it has mounted specially designed optical thin-film filters
required for multiplexing into a package that is more compact and
optically efficient than traditional solutions. ZoroLight multiplexes
red, blue and green LED signals to enable digital light-processor
projection devices and requires minimum alignment during light engine
assembly by customers, the company said.

"LED-based projection
systems are a growth market and one that Bookham is well-positioned to
support," said Bruce Kuhlmann, director of global sales, thin films, at
Bookham. "By using telecom thin-film filter technology and the unique
production processes we have developed, we are able to bring
theater-quality, high-performance optics to the projection display
market and package them in such a way that OEMs can use them seamlessly
within their own offerings."
